At this point, if they find this plane on radar flying somewhere, with or without transponder on, its probably going to be shot down.

Put your Big Screen tin foil hat on. There are at least a half dozen, cool, blockbuster movie, rescue ideas that would pull off getting everyone home
safe and sound.

I don't think any country is willing to write off that many people without a darn good cover story.

I honestly believe we give the so called terrorist way too much credit for things I just don't believe they are responsible for. I think too much
stuff is just boogeyman garbage, used to sucker us into believing we need to be tagged, locked and bagged to be safe, and so we will walk gratefully
into our little cages and voluntarily turn the key.

Latest update indicates the two passengers suspected of having stolen passports appear to be just attempting to immigrate illegally. One of the
suspects mother was waiting for him in Germany and indicated he was just trying to get there to live. I don’t see any reason to doubt that at this
point. That said however this appears to be a hijacking and not a bomb or mechanical failure. I think this one could become a big deal and may be a
tipping point event. This plane was loaded with Chinese and this looking all the more like a deliberate act would be a Chinese 9/11 event.

Knocking out a grid would also allow for other possibly already coordinated attacks to occur simultaneously.

Strangely enough... they had a story here in ATL that
was very low profile where a GA Tech student from Iran set him self on fire while making Molotov Cocktails in his apartment. He just died from his
injuries. Why was he making Molotov Cocktails?

Crakeur
while the hijack does seem like a plausible explanation, where's the plane at this point? what are the hijacker's demands? Who is behind the
hijack?

Too many unanswered questions.

The whole world is looking for the plane and, if hijacked, it has to have landed somewhere. The country that accepted it would have to be nuts to
take it and even crazier to not say "we have the plane, it's here and the hijackers are demanding..."

Here is my script:
They Hijacked the plane landed in a secret location where they loaded it with a nuclear wessel , and a cloned tracking device. Then they
painted-wrapped the plane to look exactly like another flight that is on its way to their target. While still off the radar they blow the other
flight out of the air and all the suddenly turn on their cloned tracking device and identification responders to mimic the blown flight.

However, en route to their targeted city international airport Jason Bourne gets involved as his Girl Friend is on the flight. While reviewing the
radar and tape data provided by a fellow rogue CIA contact he notices a blip on the radar of when the two planes switched ID via the cloned devices.
He immediately requests his contact to zoom in on the video data from the SKYNET satellites where he discovers an anomaly. He says "See that, there"
"Can you get me a closeup". As the image comes into focus he observes two planes that look identical within a too close of a proximity.

He has his contact hack into the Iphone on the plane to turn on the video and microphone. He is able to get a picture of one of the hijackers and
discover they are Iranians. Later after 5 kills ,finding out that his girlfriend was killed, and traveling around the world he discovers that the
person was hired by his ex CIA directors director. The rogue director of his director had been affiliated with the Oil companies and was trying to get
China to stop buying Oil from Iran.

OK I think I wasted my allocated free time for today.

But the simpler answer to your question might be: if its an attack the hijackers might not have any demands like 911.

This situation is pretty damn crazy if you asked me. Oh, and also anyone have any idea what "other technologies" means?

China has deployed 10 satellites using high-resolution earth-imaging capabilities, visible light imaging and other technologies to “support and
assist in the search and rescue operations”, the People’s Liberation Army daily said

"Navy ships, military aircraft, helicopters, coastguard and civilian vessels from 10 nations have criss-crossed the seas off both coasts of Malaysia
without success. The massive search for the plane has drawn in navies, military aircraft, coastguard and civilian vessels from 10 nations.
"

Totally...if the plan has not yet come to fruition yet, why tip their hand and draw the attention of law enforcement agencies worldwide by claiming
responsibility?

Someone on the news said that there is no reason to target Malaysian Airlines...maybe they were just a weak link with regard to airport security,
airspace monitoring, passport laws, ideal distance from a secret landing point .... who knows?

Chances are it's just crashed but there are a ton of hinky anomalies piling up that might suggest something more nefarious.

Now, possible motives and perps? Who would gain most from this and why? also, that's a commercial airplane not very easily landed on some dirt patch
runway unless the hijackers are fairly experienced pilots.

The plane only had what, 7 hours worth of fuel? Where the hell was the plane going after changing course? I could only guess Indonesia, considering
the pilot of the plane had overshot Malaysia, and was flying towards Indonesian land as a result...

Further on South-West is Africa, but i'm not sure if the fuel could have carried them that far. I guess they could have turned and headed towards
India and the Middle East, but they would have had to go through the airspaces of multiple countries...

My guess is that if it was a highjacking, whoever is involved has flown the plane to a place where they could safely store it. That would tell me they
could be in Indonesia, or the Maldives (as has been previously mentioned)...

Knocking out a grid would also allow for other possibly already coordinated attacks to occur simultaneously.

Strangely enough... they had a story here in ATL that
was very low profile where a GA Tech student from Iran set him self on fire while making Molotov Cocktails in his apartment. He just died from his
injuries. Why was he making Molotov Cocktails?

That is an odd story and I am surprised, being that I live in Atlanta, that I have not heard of this yet. I am even more surprised that a Tech Grad
Student was making molotov cocktails and not some super engineered explosive device if destruction were his goal. I wonder how many they found.
Sounds like he may have been preparing for some kind of demonstration or conflict in the Atlanta area. Aren't molotov cocktails typically used at
those sorts of conflicts, such as some sort of uprising or whatever?

The Iranian Middle man is very suspicious, though they say it is fairly common for purchasing tickets. I would not see why they would need one
though.

I also don't buy the mom's story, that or she was fed a line of BS by her son so she wouldn't worry.

I don't think this plane crashed at all. Something would sure have been seen by now. With the change of direction, stolen passports, tickets being
bought by another individual, and phones not going straight to VM, there are WAY too many oddities for me to think it was not all done for a
purpose.

And yep....why not target Malaysian Airlines....huge plane, lax security which is obvious by stolen passports being able to pass through there....and
2 on the same flight!

This flight landed somewhere, has been hidden from aerial view, all tracking has been disabled and is being re-fueled and possibly retrofitted for
some type of attack is my very strong belief...but I reserve the right to be completely wrong as well.

Still rolling with Maldives here...plenty of crazy extremists in the recent past and easily handle a flight like this with access to most major cities
globally.
